This sort of thing will be interesting to me once it can be done with fully local and open source tech on attainable hardware (and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable). Building a dependence on yet another untrustworthy AI startup that will inevitably enshittify isn’t compelling despite what the tech can do.

We’re getting there with some of the smaller open source models, but we’re not quite there yet. I’m looking forward to where we’ll be in a year!

In many professions, $5000 for tools is almost nothing.

Yep. Typical landscape crew rolls with $50k in equipment (maybe more). People push back on tooling pricing in other industries (especially when the tooling is "soft') but have no clue what that the cost of doing biz is huge for others.
